The 732nd Operations Group is an active unit of the United States Air Force, assigned to Air Combat Command's 432nd Wing. Stationed at Creech Air Force Base, Nevada, the unit operates MQ-9 Reaper drones. The unit was first activated on 10 September 2012 and initially contained four reconnaissance squadrons, operating the MQ-1 Predator as well as the MQ-9 Reaper. The group's Detachment 1, operating since at least February 2013, was notable for operating the RQ-170 Sentinel, a stealth unmanned aerial vehicle. In 2015, the detachment was absorbed into the newly activated 44th Reconnaissance Squadron.[2]
